M42 Dyno

[aaron_silva]

I went to the Edge Motorworks Dyno Day with a few others yesterday. It was a ton of fun. I was expecting around 105-110 but I suprised even myself.

Here is the graph: Max HP: 120.24 Max Tq: 112.97

120rwhp.... not bad. That thing got a Hemi? :)

[Digitalwave]

Nice numbers. Car looks great too. When will we ever see it with the top down?

[aaron_silva]

Thanks. The top will be down we the temp raises (I promise). It was around 45-50 out and I was freezing.

Edit: 7200rpm's sound great.

The car looks so clean Aaron! Truly a perfect example of a calypso! Have you repainted?! Its amazing....
You are putting down some great numbers for the m42 it must be a blast to drive.

Pretty lean eh?

[aaron_silva]

Thanks. Car hasnt been repainted. It is a great color.

JimC chip makes it run a little lean, especially up high. I wont be doing anything to the fuel system with this engine in this car.

Maybe down the road the M42 will see a MAF.

Nice car!!! I love that color 8)

A small group of us in Vancouver are talking about having a E30 dyno day. It will include stock and modified E30 M3's, 318is/ic, and a 325i... I wonder if my car will have similar results as yours? Mods on my car include JC chip, drop in K&N filter, supersprint cat back, heavy 17" wheels, sachs sport clutch and a 4.10 lsd.

Damn the M42 is a HP beast. Your car is freakishly hot. :up:

We all froze our arses off yesterday! Thank goodness for coffee and doughnuts :) And that S14 powered 2002 was a beast (especially once the mufflers were uncorked)

Great pictures, your car looks great Aaron. 8) 120 x 1.21 is about 145 peak HP, about right for what you've got. :)

Edit: PS- What did the red 325i put down? S14 '02?

[mgold]

the 2002 did about 130+ with mufflers and 160+ without. I don't recall what Ken's 325is did, but he was having fuel issues, possibly with the injectors.

We'll have to take it out there agian after some of your major changes.

Ps: I want your m42 :twisted:
